The car will stop in the middle of the road at any speed and start knocking. The lights will go on and off in the dash for a few second before it completely shuts off. If you try to ignition again you may not be able to start. But you can turn off the car for a minute and start it back up. One time I was able to shut off my truck hitting the cruise button. The big problem with this is that when you are on the road cursing and you vehicle stalls you just hope no one is behind or in front of you. The dealer replaced the part but I had to cover half of the cost of labor and part.
